JUMP

So much conveyed in so few words. Chilling to have lived through and emotional to return, I imagine, Elizabeth.

Ceru, we still have that apartment- it just took us many many years to muster the emotional strength to walk downtown and visit it. It's cavernous in size with epic ceiling height, deep below Manhattan. Dinosaur sized twisted girders, bashed firetrucks and cars and so much more. There were hundreds of people, but as quiet as a library. Incredibly moving @Former_Member 

[Former_Member]

Elizabeth, thank you for giving a sense of this, it’s overwhelming. At the end of May, I just read, they are opening a new Memorial Glade there honouring those affected by illness. @ElizabethRosenArt 

[ChillwolfArt]

@ElizabethRosenArt  I can understand the need to muster the strength to walk downtown, Elizabeth.  The fact that you were right there; terrible and surreal.

[TimeAndAgainFashions]

There are some thoughts rather deep

That into my mind can creep

Like the noise of a jeep

They keep me from sleep

alone

[Listen2Art]

Look at the stone

out in my yard

he's often alone

does that make him so hard?

The rain over years

will soften him - and

before you can tell

he'll turn into sand!

Now look at the sand

and the children play

No one's alone

having fun all day...

birds

[OpenVintagePreserve]

Birds in the bush 

building a nest 

fly back and forth

no time to rest. 

Then lay the eggs

over them brood.

Then hatchlings peep

Piping for food. 

Renew 

[ladycampsalot]

I like to renew my view with a few blue hues

Bank

[ElizabethRosenArt]

bank

My Mother had a piggy bank, so many years ago.

She got the coins out with a comb from small slot down below.

We'd sit for hours rolling pennies 'til our fingers stank.

Then got into the car to drive ten dollars to the bank.

Wing

[Desertstamps]

I hope you will not mind.. this game I just find.. 

[Former_Member]

Welcome to everyone

Poems are spun

Rules almost none!

@Desertstamps 

[Desertstamps]

All happy hearts take flight

like a bird on its wing

allow your soul to sing 

wish with all your might.. 

to see the world.. a beautiful sight.

 HOPE 

[ChillwolfArt]

My mind is filled with hope
As I attempt to tie that rope
Then made several attempts to lassoo
But couldn't quite reel in YOU.

FIRE

[Desertstamps]

@ChillwolfArt    I am an easy catch.. a bottle of Black Velet & two straws will do it.  (Very Much Happy to see you here.)  

[ChillwolfArt]

@Desertstamps   LOL; Thank You very much; it's great to see you too and fun to be back here :)

[OpenVintagePreserve]

poetry of fire 

hot flames climbing higher

fling into its deep

dreams that you can keep

feel the rising heat

fears that you can beat 

singe away the fear

hold the comfort dear 

WIND

[ElizabethRosenArt]

The wind that blew through late last night,

Turned wood chairs upside down.

It shook off all the pear tree blossoms,

Blew them 'cross the ground.

It shrieked through windows not quite closed,

A haunting, hellish yell.

Then left as quick as it arrived,

And back to sleep we fell.

Morning

[Desertstamps]

It is a new morning Dan, let it be a warning

Time to change your Mourning into..

adorning thoughts of promises never scourning. 

[Desertstamps]

AAGGGHHH!!!   Sorry I forgot to leave a next rhyme Word.. 

Please use 

FORGOT  

[ElizabethRosenArt]

Thank you Dan! If anyone forgets, Lori sagely suggested to just use the last word in the poem above, so everyone is covered when they forget- which does happen!!

[Desertstamps]

Thank You Elizabeth !!  It is Cinco de Mayo here in the Desert & I did not want you & my team mates to think I have been drinking Taquilla & Dos XX cuervas for the past 3 hours.  (LOL)   

[Former_Member]

Forgot

One self-absorbed mouse

Forgot it’s manners

In close company

Tapping out letters

Those friendships are

Now all in tatters

From which it learnt

What really matters

TELESCOPE

[OpenVintagePreserve]

TELESCOPE

Telescope the worries -

let them yonder fly -

play them like a fishing line -

tangled in a sigh. 

Celebrate the kindness -

circling round about -

telescope the stresses - 

let the joy come out. 

PLEASANT 

[Former_Member]

Beautiful writing, Jane!
